Have Any Of The Cable News Shows Talk About The Hacking Scandal Guy Found Dead?....... |
|
I just learned about the non-suspicious/suspicious death of one of the whistle blowers in the hacking scandal here at DU. I am not near a TV this a.m. and I was wondering how CNN, MSNBC and Faux are reporting this. Anybody out there in DU land hear anything about this on the cable news?

3. Listening to Thom Hartmann and he's covering it. |
|
I don't think the MSM has though although I really don't watch and listen to them very much anymore.

5. To Me It's Rather Suspicious That This Story Isn't Breaking News..... |
|
and all over the cable news shows.
Seems to me that this scandal is bigger than we might even have thought and maybe permeates news organizations beyond Murdoch's.

4. 2:32pm EDT - MSNBC did a one-line report |
|
The story is playing second fiddle to a report of a millionaire whose girlfriend came up dead and whose son has also died after a fall down a staircase.

17. I agree. I get what you are... |
|
...saying. :) Cable news is useless when it comes to covering anything that is real news or of substantial importance. They should be interrupting to report stories like this...rather than 'Carmageddon.' :eyes:
I was just offering a link to Current because they ARE covering the larger story. Keith will undoubtedly cover this at 5PM EST on his show tonight. And he has committed to cover the hearing tomorrow. That's all I'm saying. :hi:

12. Typical liberal tactics: being found unsuspiciously dead after whistle blowing. |
|
;-)
Hey, you think Faux News would hire me as a writer? ;-)

Discussing the fact that someone was found un-suspiciously dead after whistle blowing without mentioning what a beacon of truth and light Rupert Murdoch is. ;)
